The next generation will be soon among us. We are mere weeks away from the inception of what will define the next decade of gaming.

Leading up to these machines has been a roller coaster ride of spec wars, DRM Drama, and Titan/Shadow Falls. However, the one thing I will remember most- are the GIFs.

One unsung hero found himself catapulted into internet stardom. A man with great charisma, a man with few words, and a man with an unforgettable face. That man, is Antonio Banderas.

Antonio Banderas has defined PlayStation 4, 720p gaming, and hardware in all shapes and forms. Antonio Banderas did more than just make a B rated film in 1996 with Sylvester Stallone, he defined a generation.

With this I ask you GAF, let your voices be heard. Retweet the OP! Bring Antonio Banderas and PS4 together. This is destiny.

[ElTorro]

Don't!

 

[Nyoro SF]

Uh... isn't it good enough to just keep it as GAF's joke then try to do some cringeworthy public campaign no one will really understand besides us?

 

[LongDongJunon]

I can't believe this is a thing.


...but then again.

 

[spannicus]

[DMczaf]

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Banderas is universal, Mayne.

 

[Hidden One]

 

[Havel]

I'm in.

Banderas is pretty much known everywhere, it's not like his appeal is limited to GAF.

 

[ShogunX]

Lets all grow up and leave this kind of shit in the grave with Kevin Butler.

 

[Chuck Norris]

No stawp

 

[cdkee]

Signing this petition instead.

 

[reKon]

lol anndddd no support from GAF

 

[Tratorn]

Pretty lame thread.
If we have to beg them for this it won't be really funny.

But would have been kind of cool if they had produced one without something like this.

 

[Professor Lich]

Just hire some dude that kind of looks like Banderas, make him do the motion, then do whatever else you want for the rest of the commercial.

Don't over do it in real life, keep it on GAF.

 

[CambriaRising]

I didn't wanna be "that guy", so I'm glad you were instead. I totally agree.

 

[reKon]

Don't!

haha this is good

 

[baekshi]

I support #BanderasPSV

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Why would anyone make a commercial that appeals to a single internet forum? That makes no sense.

 

[PAULINK]

This meme has now crossed into unbearable territory.

 

[famousmortimer]

Like I said on twitter, @jpkoller is the head of hardware marketing.

 

[buddha0991]

am I a hippo crate for hating this thing but love Doge

 

[Papercuts]

 

[KarmaCow]

Do we get some commission on this deal?

 

[legacyzero]

Why would anyone make a commercial that appeals to a single internet forum? That makes no sense.

This is WAY past more than just GAF at this point.

 

[EMT0]

This meme has now crossed into unbearable territory.

Shame on you Teddie.

 

[VeryGooster]

Doubt it will happen, but so many no fun allowed posts here.

 

[Bloomers]

If I had a Twitter I'd help...

Someone, act in my stead!

 

[abstract alien]

I swear to God gaf, if this happens... lol

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Shuhei Yoshida make it happen, please!!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Horrid idea in my mind. Let it stay with fun internet memes.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Yeah let's spend a ton of money on a commercial that started as a joke some people on the internet will get

That's a good idea

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I'm in #banderasps4

 

[XANDER CAGE]

If I remember right, that gif from Assassins isn't even used in a proper context. Sort of like the clapping Citizen Kane gif.

 

[Gaz_RB]

I am ok with Banderas being a Sony exclusive. A killer app if you ask me.

 

[Replicant]

Don't do this please. It's kind of embarrassing. I enjoy the comedic GIFs but some internet meme should not be unleashed on RL people.

 

[Freeman]

No need to make a campaign on twitter for this, it would so much cooler if Sony somehow do a Bandeiras add at some point by themselves.

 

[FairXchange]

It would probably be a massively successful campaign, and it's literally being handed to Sony on a platter by the hardcore crowd. Unless they want to overpay some marketing/advertising firm for middling results, they should take a serious look at this.

I love it as an in-joke for the hardcore crowd on Gaf, but I just get the feeling this could actually generate buzz in the real world if executed properly.

 

[Joco]

Now this is something I can get behind.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Gaf, you suck ass. Don't ruin this shit.

 

[ambar_hitman]

I already tweeted about this to yoshida yesterday.

Too much.
